Where did the paint stick on? if anything it can be removed with some elbow grease. Or (make sure they know what they are doing) use some brake cleaner. It should take the recent paint off because the paint on the car has been cured already and is really tough to take off.

Their just for show, I'm gonna rock the HFP's for daily.

I was just joking. I think the '07 HFP's are one of the cleanest wheels out there for the BBP. I just had to give Juliane a hard time.

paint (oil based at that) on front bumber, left side skirt/running board, LF fender, LF door, LF side mirror, LR door, LR fender. insurance is gonna cover it so i'm not too worried. but still it sucks to have had your car less than a month and have some idiot screw it up by not taking care of the crap in the back of his/her truck.

I'd rather try to see if it comes off first. It's better than repainting the bumper.

I used newspaper and a gallon of elbow greese to get the overspray off my old CRX. Newspaper is about the finest grit sandpaper you can find.
